I've never had a single issue with this ROM other than the known ones on past versions. I've also never had to flash more than 1 time to get it to work, have never had a boot loop or random force closes on first boot. In hopes of helping some of the other people with issues, here is what I do.

1) Wipe data 3x

2) Flash ROM

3) Wipe data 3x again IF YOU'RE ON THE FULLY LOADED VERSION ONLY (You can skip this step, i do this to get rid of all the tethering apps and such)

4) Let the phone boot and check if everything works

5) Boot to recovery and flash any add-ons.

Never had a single issue doing this exactly. Same method every time, same order. Maybe I'm just lucky though.

Great work ACS, love the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Very bad idea if you're on Standard! Standard uses LauncherPro, which is stored in /data. If you wipe after install, you'll lose it, and thus get an FC and unusable system on boot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I think now that you linked them to the market you may want to clear the data/cache on the market. (I know you did it before, but try it again after linking)

I have had this problem before and that fixed it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Goodpoint, i use fully loaded. My bad. Edited accordingly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
I wanted to try out the viper Tom and even though I loved the black and orange color scheme I ended up back to acs. Felt more at home with this one specially since.my battery doesn't drain.as.I'm charging haha. Thanks for.all the hard work
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
I couldn't stand the black and orange I had to flash right back to frozen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
I agree that its not for some people. I would of been stoked if it were.more a black and green scheme but oh well haha. And on a side note with fully loaded when I hold tthe power button to.bring up the menu it force closes and revolts my phone. Is that a.known issue.or just a bad.flash?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mlpomer:
Flashed this rom a few times now, and every time I had the same issue, Push the power button and my phone shuts down and restarts (never pulls up a menu). A few more flashes of this rom and figured out that with a fresh flash everything is fine. As soon as I flash any theme I get the listed problem when long pressing the power button. I guess the themes I tried were not playing nice. Anyway back on a fresh flash and all is working fine right now.

A couple of other issues I noticed when I had a theme flashed. Occasional phone problem in others not being able to hear me. Occasionally my phone would not ring and instead go directly to voice mail (had full service bars). 3G data would just disappear, sometimes a toggle of airplane mode would restart it, sometime required a power down. And lastly when trying to adjust the sound of the phone ringer or notification alert, I would get a FC.

None of these problems have been noticed if I don;t flash any themes and just run a fresh flash of this ROM.

I just really would like to get rid of the light blue in the notification pull down (prefer a black icon bar and trans gray)

Really like this ROM though for the speed and battery life.

Thanks for all the great work on this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
I'm probably going to flash again if.doesn't fix I'll just deal with it for a whole and find a work around. And yeah love the speed and battery life on this rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] shahin26:
Hey. The same problem is happening. Wireless tether doesnt work. Actually it only only works on 3g. Any fix to get it working with 4g. It used to work fine on Syndicate 1.0.1. So it must the rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Works Fine.

Should not need pit.
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
+30 .. its green and orange. (Multiple hues of green). Needs a color theorist in the hizzy.

Here's the part where i don't ask about an EC05 status. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Nope.

[Epic 4G Android Development] shahin26:
Hey. I love the rom thank you. great job bro. Where could the problem be from? I dont use this tether thing much. maybe just a few times a month. but it does come in handy at times..Can u help please?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Any FC or reboot problems - or conflicts with 4G - are from the app itself, unfortunately. It's marked 'experimental' for a reason.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mlpomer:
I had problems with the tether also. Currently working great. Once I launch wireless tether, I went into setting and selected Epic 4G in the list. Once I did that the tether restarted and no more problems. Not sure if it was just a coincidence or if this will work for most. Maybe worth a try if you haven't already done it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeonMonster:
Is this a hint that a newer version is about to be dropped? :)

If so, I'm gonna wait to flash 1.0.2.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Go ahead and flash 1.0.2. The EC05 version is under active development, but it'll be a day or two.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xtrezpasor:
So are the NFL App and SPrint TV ever going to be put back? Id like to reinstall them...

Thank you
[Epic 4G Android Development] phynias:
just flashed 1.0.2 and for some weird reason the gallery app has a blank icon. any ideas???
[Epic 4G Android Development] NeonMonster:
Flashed 1.0.2 straight over 1.0.1 without wiping or anything. No FC's, and everything is normal. :)

Oh, I really love the CWM flash screen text! I love this rom!

[Epic 4G Android Development] threedfreek:
I've read and kept up with all of these posts and with 1.0.2 I fail to see how to "shut down" now... when I long hold on the power button it reboots... how do I shut down now?

TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try reflashing the rom

[Epic 4G Android Development] threedfreek:
So ur sayin that it shouldn't reboot on long press?

edit: for some reason after the reboot it no longer reboots on long press... sorry for the errant post.

Just wanted to jump in and say thank you! The voodoo sound is awesome it makes my music come ALIVE! Love this ****
[Epic 4G Android Development] w2n:
i've done this twice; i believe the issue is Odin is not completing (both on Win7 & Win XP).

i've tried using both Odin 1.61 & 1.70 with the PIT for "EB13-Extended-3" & "SPH-D700-EB13-8Gb-REL" .tars

I'm going to try going back to stock then give odin another shot. -- at least the phone isn't bricked, just can't use any wireless functions (voice/data).
[Epic 4G Android Development] spitefulrain:
Will we need to wipe data for the ec05 version? Or will a backup/restore be safe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Eazail70x7:
Am I correct when I say that I won't lose any data from flashing 1.02 over 1.01? Meaning it won't wipe data like 1.01 did?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
^^ Good question, would like to know the above as well. Something tells me that it will be similar to EB13 upgrade from Eclair - meaning, have to Odin to stock, wipe cache, install EC05 and then load the ROM/kernel.

On a different note - I loaded ACS Frozen 1.0.2 on top of my 1.0.1 and wifi tether now works for over 2 hours - 4G on - seamlessly, without reboots!! Kudos, major kudos to the devs :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
I did not lose ANY data - I think prior to flashing it was backed up. Really seamless process :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
If the battery full pop-up still comes on during the night does that mean my 1.0.2 flash is bad? everything else is working great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Apollo83:
Hey everyone! When I use the wifi tether option baked into this rom, is it normal for the phone to start sprints hotspot as well? Also if hotspot is supposed to start wouldn't sprint know we are using the wifi tether feature?

Ps since calirbrating my battery yesterday 23hrs one charge...
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Probably not, just odin the modem

Does this ROM zipalign .apks on boot? Just wondering.
[Epic 4G Android Development] swears11:
This rom has been really great so far.

Only problem is that I can't urn the phone off anymore.

When I hold the power button, it vibrates twice and does a reboot. Is this normal?

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] icebear8:
1.0.2 and wondering when the next update comes out is there a way to backup my apps and the way my homescreen looks? So when I do flash I don't have to do anything? Just wondering
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
It does the same.for me. Reboots when I try to turn the phone off. I have to pull the battery to turn of haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
Thought 1.02 already started doing that?

From the 2nd post:

When I went from .01 to .02, everything carried over.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Did you change the battery icon or add a theme?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
I changed the battery icon. So that could be the cause of the phone not pulling up the shutdown menu and rebooting itself?
[Epic 4G Android Development] hallucinate:
Just chiming in a THANK YOU for all your efforts ACS. Big fan of this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
The EC05 version will it still have all of these tweaks and mods or will it be closer to stock?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kerby132:
Hi, love your Rom. Thanks for all the hard work.

However, I'm having a problem with the new update. I had no problem with verison 1.0.1, but when I flashed 1.0.2, I was always stuck in airplane mode and the rom lagged a lot. I ended up wiping my device 3x and then rolling back to 1.0.1, yet still no ability to exit airplane mode and the rom still lagged. Wipped 3x again, download 1.0.2 again, and then reflashed, yet still no luck. What would suggest now? Sadly, I'm about to take a 5 hour drive and my phone was going to be my GPS, off to google maps I go.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
All of the tweaks you've come to expect and enjoy... and then some. The upcoming release will be better than ever. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Yeah, just use the ones from the Featured Syndicate menu. Just change it to one of those and you're good to go. No need to wipe anything at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
Eagerly awaiting 1.0.3.

Does the modem update work with 1.0.2? eb13s buggy bluetooth is bugging me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Odin back to EB13, wipe data, then flash 1.0.2. If you continue to have trouble, format your SD card, redownload the ROM, and try again. The format clears up a lot of issues.

The EC05 modem should work, yes. And it will be 1.1.0, not 1.0.3.
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
I have .01 right now and have heavily customized the way it looks. If i update to .02, will i will all the customizations including shortcuts/unlock screen? I understand it doesnt wipe data/apps but what bout customizations?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nicenice19:
I just flashed this rom after being on bonsai for a few weeks and am trying out touchwiz after using launcherpro forever. I can not get the samsung widgets installed. I am running fully loaded and I do not see them in the widgets menu. I tried installing the apk from \data\app but it will not install. Any tips?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If you made changes to anything in /system, you will lose them. However, unless the changes modify services.jar, they can be reapplied to 1.0.2 without trouble.

You have to push them to /system/app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
Just want to say thanks again. The upgrade from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 went smooth as silk for me. Looking foward to the next release. Is it worth bothering to odin the new modem or should I just wait for 1.0.3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
lol you lost me here.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robyn25:
I first want to say I LOVE THIS ROM! Thanks for putting such hard work into it! I also loved the ease of the transition from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2. I know it probably won't be since it is a bigger update, but would love it if the next one is as easy.

I do have a few questions and I have read ALOT here, but there are sooo many pages please excuse if these questions have been answered.

1. I have read about EXT4 with no journaling causing data corruption when phone turned off improperly, and have seen responses after it has happened saying " Just a restore of data will fix this" Which is cool, I just want to know because I'm pretty new to this, which backup will provide this data to restore. Is it the "data" backup in mybackup root , or a clockwork backup?

2. I may be way out of line here, but just have a suggestion for the next update. I LOVE everything you have done, all the adjustments, except the transparent menu bar pull down. I think its cool, but hard to read. I would like to have everything the same, except that...if possible, just an idea. I know there is a stock theme addon, but not sure if it takes away all the other things you changed.

Thanks! Love your work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] w2n:

[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
actually using the EC05 modem on .2 right now. Tried the new bonsai, but they removed the clock in the notification bar for some god awful reason, and the fix sent my phone into a startup loop so I bailed and nandroided back to .2. So I'm one step ahead for the 1.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Flip102:
Any update on when the 24-hour clock fix will be available?
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Battery is amazing! I always backup, wipe data, cache, dalvik at least 3x before flashing anything. Battery was great without any aid so i thought i'd see what Juice Defender would do and WOW. I've tried JD with every rom i've tried and the estimated battery life is always spot on.

I also have had no issues with this flash yet. Connectivity is great, no FC's (except when adding a sound file to a sms???).
[Epic 4G Android Development] ichefae85:
Haha had to reflash when I applied the battery mod it sent my phone into a constant boot cycle. But I'm good now
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
is there a reason this is kernal rooted? is that better than rom rooted? I'm asking because that prevents using nubecoders experimental kernal that lets the battery charge fully.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
Is there a way to stop audio from playing through the external speaker while headphones are plugged in? Like notifications and phone rings will play through both.

Kernel after flash showing Standard 2.6.32.9 instead of "twilight 1.04"

Syndicate Rom 1.02

EB 13 Based

Is this Normal?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
I would like to see this too if it is possible.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TrentB:
1.0.2 is based on EB13

EC05 will be implemented in the next version 1.1.0 from my understanding.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phynias:
tried this same thing. it isn't that the apps not installed, it's there but the icon is blank.

perhaps i pushed it wrong can you give me a rundown of the commands just in case?
[Epic 4G Android Development] treyxazn:
I used to have this issue on stock, but not since flashing this rom.

A reboot of the phone should help id try just reflashing real quick on top of it after that

If the reboot doesn't help.
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
Assuming adb is set up and working, i usually do:

Adb push Gallery3d.apk /system/app/Gallery3d.apk

Adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Gallery3d.apk

Adb reboot

Its all case sensitive, sobmake sure that's the exact name of the apk you're pushing. (I don't have it in front of me)
[Epic 4G Android Development] renaldok:
I should have clarified , i was wondering if kernel in "about phone" should show Twilight 1.04. According to other websites no it doesn't.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MedicStuder:
Been using the rom for a few weeks now. Love it. Today for some reason my phone froze. We I pulled battery and rebooted everything was fc'ing on me. I reinstalled rom again, so will wait and see. Just wanted t let dev now. I don't know what caused it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Please read the thread. ;) This has been addressed; improper shutdown=possible data corruption.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No, I don't believe it does :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] burgerpimp07:
This question might not be related to the ROM, because it also happens on my girlfriends samsung fascinate. But almost at the same time, both of our phones' SnsService (under running applications) seems to be stuck on "restarting" and won't sync anything. Anybody know what the issue is? I need this for my email to be checked at the selected interval.

I tried clearing cache and data for snsservices. When I restart the phone, it works fine for a little, then gets stuck on restarting again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Could very well be a network issue if it's happening to two people on two different phones :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] sneezy316:
Some call it a communication problem... :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
I re-flashed the ROM again and it works like you said! Weird how some residue from the previous ROM still exists after 3 Wipes of the flash! I bet this fixes the Battery full Popup too.

If only journaling were enabled because it's almost perfect. I'd be donating more once it's there!
[Epic 4G Android Development] fishfuzz:
I have to say, this is an incredible ROM. Best battery life I've ever had from the Epic, and so incredibly fast. I can't click the Thanks button enough times to really show how awesome you are for putting this together.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Led Zeppelin would ;) :D

Glad you two are liking it! Thanks for your support! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Correct, no data will be lost :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] swears11:
Yes!

I changed the battery icon to the gauge (looks really good).

I'll try going back to stock and seeing if this helps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tps70:
All I can say is I love this ROM! I ran my new Epic stock for almost a month before I broke down & rooted it. First, I tried a different ROM while I was on vacation a few weeks ago... it wasn't bad, but I kept researching. Then, I read about SyndicateROM Frozen and just had to try it. I'm glad I did!

Awesome job to everyone involved! :D

All I need now is a red/black theme and I'll be set! :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Did you change it to the gauge under the tab Featured: etc etc?
[Epic 4G Android Development] phynias:
ok tried this twice same problem. also tried to reflash the rom, no dice.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Really odd problem. Still like that after rebooting? Try assigning the icon in your launcher.
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
Been using 1.0.2 for a while. I'm usually flash happy when it comes to roms but I don't feel the need to now till cm7.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like it! Even with CM7 I don't know if I'll switch, this rom is so nice :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] phynias:
yup ive rebooted several times. no icon :(

and not to sound dumb but how exactly do i assign an icon (im using launcherpro)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Place it on the homescreen, and hold it in and then assign an icon.
[Epic 4G Android Development] phynias:
won't that just make it so theres an icon on the homescreen version not the drawer?

also another thing i just noticed. i went to open a video and it brings up the which app do you want to use to open this file and it doesn't list the gallery app like it used to. should i try sdx removing this and reinstaling it ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, since it doesn't appear as if the gallery is being recognized.... here, use my apk, which works. Adb push it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] snowmanwithahat:
Found a bug... Running 1.0.1

Received a call, hit "ignore with text" and it never launched the messaging app, I'd imagine it is because of some change possibly made to the phone app through my 2.3 theme, but I wanted to post it to see if other users got the same thing
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
1st: you need to upgrade to 1.0.2 ;)

2nd: any time you run a theme, it can mess with aspects of the phone.
[Epic 4G Android Development] latinmaxima:
Quick question. I really want to try this and didn't see this anywhere in the thread so far. Can I push Sprint Nav and will it work with the Standard Version. It has to be the only app I actually use cause for whatever reason the nav search works better in my area (Richmond and Lexington, KY) than google maps. Thanks in advance for the help!

Also which lockscreen is this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] phynias:
heh, same. this is the weirdest thing ever.
